(Winston-Salem, NC)—Texas Pete® has been a supporter of new and established country music artists for many years. This year, they are happy to announce that the company will be partnering with Hayley Orrantia, star of the ABC hit sitcom, “The Goldbergs.” This tour will be the first extended tour for Hayley to showcase her special style of pop/country music.

The world-famous hot sauce brand will be a major sponsor for the premiere tour of the star of ABC’s hit sitcom “The Goldbergs.”

Hayley said in an interview, “My song Strong, Sweet and Southern speaks to my appreciation for all things southern, bold, and sassy. So, of course I had to add Texas Pete Hot Sauce to the lyrics. I’ve had a great launch and relationship with the Texas Pete team, and I’m so thankful they are partnering with me to bring my music to my fans.” She goes on to say, “I really hope to introduce my fans, not only to some fun new music, but to the incredible flavor that is Texas Pete Hot Sauce.”

Glenn Garner, Chief Marketing Officer for Garner Foods, said, “We are very excited to have the opportunity to support Hayley Orrantia on her first major tour. The Texas Pete team was flattered that Hayley wanted to use the Texas Pete brand in her lyrics. The fact that our brand has become a part of popular culture through artists like Hayley is an honor and one that motivates us.”
